Speaker: Dr. Nicholas Coops, Professor at the University of British Columbia, Canada Although this is a challenging task, assessing forest stand dynamics from remotely sensed data is critical for guiding management practices. In his talk, Dr. Coops will address recent advances in this field with a special focus on tree growth and mortality. Dr. Coops will provide real-world examples of how growth and mortality can be predicted and mapped using different sources of remotely sensed data.
